lstocky Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure I'm doing something funky here as the use case is dead simple. Steps to reproduce: file >new (Print, A4, RGB 8 bit, Transparent background) Layer > new layer select paint brush tool click and drag on canvas Something real weirds going on because in step 4 - no paint gets left on the canvas. What am I doing here? So basic, and so frustrating that I can't get it to work... cheers, lstocky p.s. the pixel tool works, just not the regular paint brush tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted February 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2018 Under the brushes tab which brush is currently selected and if you choose a different brush does it work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I see which brush is selected? - when you follow the precise steps I detailed, no selection appears apparent in the brushes pane (in the studio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure Protect Alpha is disabled in that toolbar. Ah-ha - Protect Alpha - that was the culprit. Is that normally on my default? thanks lstocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstocky Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 presumably so, though I can't think why I would have touched it. I wasn't especially conscious of it until you pointed it out. thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
